CARO, December 27th. There has been a serious fracas in the native quarter. Barricated were erected

Firsh troubles broke out at Port Said. iu which two were killed and three wounded. The great majority of Government employees in Cairo have resumed in the provinces.

THE PRINCE'S TOUR.
LONDON, December 27th. The Prince of Wales popularity con- tinues to be enhanced almost hourly by anrehearsed incidents. By stopping and taking notice of a large crowd of Bengalee children on the way to the races he once again showed the breadth of his sympathy. Although dancing into the small hours of Tuesday morning. he started off at eight on a paper chase. A small Geld joined in the sport, but there was a vast crowd of spretators. The Prinen mounted Goculda's horse and although he lost the scent once or twice le never lost his seat, which most others did. At Government House he received the Senate of Calcutta University, which conferred on him the Degree of Doctor of Law. During the afternoon the Prince witnessed a remarkable series of native jigeants on the Midan. Enormous crowls filled the vast amphitheatre and the Prince of Wales was given a tre- mendous reception. In the evening Cal- cutta showed what she could do in the way of illuminations, the whole centre of the city dazzling with blaze and magni-
